Teaching Teachers to Teach Computer Science - Unplugged or Plugged-in?
Tim Bell · 2020
As new computing curricula are rolled out around the world, teachers are having to adjust to teaching new topics, finding new resources, and even working in a different style in the classroom. For some, this is a long-awaited change that they are more than ready for, but for many, particularly in primary school, it is unfamiliar territory and a foreign language, and it might even appear to threaten deeply-held values they have about what their learners need. Because the curriculum is new, it is unlikely to have been part of their own education or their preparation for being a teacher.
